How to Deal with Cyber Bullying

Phoebe Prince’s story reminded us all again we need to do more to prevent bullying in our schools.  Phoebe was a teen who was harassed for months by her peers and her life tragically ended with suicide in January.  Recently, many of the teens who harassed her have faced criminal punishment for their acts.

Whether the bullying is taking place in person or online, it’s never a good thing.  Most news reports suggest much of Phoebe’s bullying was in person, but we know many times cyber bullying has had equally devastating consequences.  In fact, an AP poll release in December found that 50 percent of teens they surveyed had been affected by digital abuse in some way.
